It took one month to complete the construction of the road connecting Lingshui Village to Sanhe Town.
The county magistrate Zuoqiu personally visited the road completion site and presided over the wage payment ceremony.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu also worked for a few days and received a total of two thousand coins.
The entire road construction project cost a total of two hundred and dozens of taels of silver.
Except for the one hundred taels that Mr. Xu did not ask for, the county government paid out one hundred taels, and the remaining money was shared among the people of Lingshui Village, with each family paying out several hundred taels. And this money was earned through the work of building roads. Not to mention, there was still money to be made.
Therefore, all the people in the village clapped their hands and applauded.
After all, Zuoqiu was the county magistrate. Seeing the joyous scene in front of him, he immediately had an idea.
When spring comes next year, Zuoqiu will start bridge and road construction projects across the county. The county government provided part of the money, the village provided part of the money, and local wealthy households donated some, and then used a combination of laborers and local villagers to give wages and successfully completed the road renovation project within the entire county. In his He wrote a lot of important things in the official evaluation.
Of course, this is something!
After the wages were paid, Zuoqiu met Mr. Xu again. He praised Mr. Xu again for no apparent reason, and gave it to Mr. Xu as a gift to him with a handwritten message of "House of Accumulating Good Deeds".
Mr. Xu was naturally very grateful for this.
Although Zuoqiu is only a seventh-grade county magistrate, he has also made great achievements this time, and his future will definitely be bright.
Even if Mr. Xu is no longer in officialdom, he knows that Zuoqiu's future will not stop there. And with Zuoqiu's handwriting, when Zuoqiu's successor, the new county magistrate, comes, he will have to take a high look at the old Xu family.
So Mr. Xu, who was in a good mood, encouraged the people in the village to leave Zuoqiu, the county magistrate, in Lingshui Village for a pig-killing meal.
The weather is getting colder, and the pigs that have been raised for a year are getting fatter!
It may be a little early to kill the New Year pig, but today is a good day, who cares
Of course, the pig that was killed was not raised by Lao Xu’s family.
This pig belongs to Lao Qi's family in the village.
Guan Laoqi, who wanted to show off in front of the county magistrate, did his part to contribute his own big fat pig.
The whole village had a delicious meal of pig-killing rice. Although I can’t say that the meat tube was enough, at least everyone had meat and a meaty dish.
This is one word, beautiful!
After seeing off the county magistrate Zuoqiu, Guan Laoqi took Mr. Xu's hand and said, "Brother Xu, you are my noble brother!"
"Brother Seventh, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Xu quickly waved his hand, "Back then, my family and I dragged our family to our village. If your old man hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have known where I would have been buried!"
"You did a lot of work when my family built that house. I remember all of this!"
"Hey, Brother Xu, let's not talk about this!"
"In this life, no one can help when they are in trouble, so help!" Guan Laoqi burped from wine, "I, Guan Laoqi, have never thought of having a big future in my life, but Your eldest nephew cannot be hopeless!"
"Just study, neither get better nor get worse. It's been like that for so many years!"
"This time, thanks to your blessing, brother, your eldest nephew joined the county government and became a clerk. He is somewhat promising!"
"All this is thanks to you, brother!" Guan Laoqi held Mr. Xu's hand and burst into tears of gratitude. (End of chapter)
